The Hennessy Hammock is one of the top manufactured hammocks on the market. The benefit of purchasing the Hennessy Hammock is having all the key features included for your next camping trip. But having the additional features does come out a small price that is well worth it.

The Hennessy Hammock comes in a variety of options such as the ultralight, Explorer and Jungle models that provide Hennessy’s Velcro entry and traditional zipper closure. Included with the Hennessy Hammock is a polyester square rain-fly, ridge-line, no-see-um bug netting, polyester webbing and hammock.

Pros: Excellent headroom where it matters most. No center pole, still high wind resistant. Lightweight. Excellent ventilation. Shed’s water well. Quick and easy set up. Vestibules double as closet space. Poles can be replaced by trekkers.
